Specific protein-lipid interactions in membrane proteins.
Many membrane proteins selectively bind defined lipid species. This specificity has an impact on correct insertion, folding, structural integrity and full functionality of the protein. How are these different tasks achieved? Recent advances in structural research of membrane proteins provide new information about specific protein-lipid interactions. Tightly bound lipids in membrane protein stru...
متن کاملProtein-lipid interactions in the photosynthetic membrane.
In each case the complexes were suspended in 20rn~-Tris/HCl (pH 8.0)/0.1% LDAO (v/v). The circles indicate where the recording spectrophotometer stopped and the spectra were continued point by point in another machine. (a) Complexes from strain 7750 grown at 2000k: 0, type 1 B800-850; 0, RC-B880. (b) Complexes from strain 7050 grown at 4001~: 0, type 2 B800-850; this spectrum was raised to make...
متن کاملLipid-protein interactions in biological membranes: a structural perspective.
Lipid molecules bound to membrane proteins are resolved in some high-resolution structures of membrane proteins. An analysis of these structures provides a framework within which to analyse the nature of lipid-protein interactions within membranes. Membrane proteins are surrounded by a shell or annulus of lipid molecules, equivalent to the solvent layer surrounding a water-soluble protein. The ...
متن کاملLipid domains control myelin basic protein adsorption and membrane interactions between model myelin lipid bilayers.
The surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscope were used to study the effects of lipid composition and concentrations of myelin basic protein (MBP) on the structure of model lipid bilayers, as well as the interaction forces and adhesion between them. The lipid bilayers had a lipid composition characteristic of the cytoplasmic leaflets of myelin from "normal" (healthy) and "disease-lik...
متن کاملIntra-Protein Interactions Across a Fluid Membrane as a Model for Biological Transport
A model is proposed for the mechanism of action of the glucose transport system of the human erythrocyte. The model is based on the possibility of there being interaction through the membrane between superficially disposed protein subunits, these units being embedded within the bimolecular lipid layer, anchored to the aqueous phase, perhaps mobile in the plane of each face of the membrane. The ...
